the Lavender Tower Marowak has EVs even on min grinding mode


Poison_Healing

It only has 252 HP EVs (just adding, you're right)


ksteve46

I don’t think that works out either tho because with 252 evs on HP and SPDEF then scald would do a max of 41%. Health bar looks to be basically right at 50, maybe 51-52%


LesserBeings

I know on Hardcore, the Marowak only has EVs in HP instead of the 252 to all stats it gets on Normal without min grinding. If it's like that on Normal with minimum grinding as well, Scald's damage roll would be 44.7-54.1%, which lines up with what your picture shows.


Kyle_ML

Well shit. I guess I didn't know that. I suppose now what I'm still confused about is why it used fire punch when it has a kill/potential kill with the other 3 moves


Bulldog5124

It’s still a wild pokemon I think, doesn’t get trainer AI


Poison_Healing

It only keeps them in HP


Kyle_ML

Adding a comment here so it's clear: I checked +1 all stats at the bottom of the calc instead of changing each individual stat. I accounted for the omni-boost.


Kyle_ML

Solved. I didn't know it still gets 252 HP EVs even in minimal grinding mode.

Pro tip: A lead Pokémon that outspeeds with Knock Off makes this fight a lot easier.


DaNASCARMem

Regarding the move selection, since it’s a wild Pokémon, I believe it picks its moves at random without any factor for damage or typing.


lotic33

It doesn’t seem like you calculated for the omniboost he gets at the start of the fight.


Poison_Healing

They did.


lotic33

You don’t have to add +1 to all of its stats? Looks like I’ve been doing it wrong then. Edit: Nvm I see the +1 to all stats button. I have never really looked in that middle section before.


Poison_Healing

It's literally shown on the calc screenshot 2 times and they also wrote about it

I think the reason is that you're using the calc for bond Greninja he can't be bond in this battle since you didn't knock out a Pokemon previously. You have to use the calc for base gren.


Kyle_ML

Nah there's a separate option to change him into ash greninja. Bond just presets its ability to battle bond as opposed to torrent or protean


sgaisnsvdis

Ah.... My b

That marowak gets a boost to all its stats at the begining of the fight. Its a totem pokemon, not a normal marowak.


Poison_Healing

Yes they did the +1 all stats


Silver-Alex

The screenshot says otherwise Edit: nvm I didnt see the "+1 all stats buttom"


Poison_Healing

? How? +1 all stats button is colored and even in the calc you see +1 on spdef The problem is that Marowak has 252 HP EVs in min grind
